No third tank yet, but am thinking of getting another 20-gallon-high. The third one will probably be a tropical tank.

typeof:

Freshwater

How I got started with aquariums.:

Back in the 1980s I kept a variety of tanks, including saltwater, freshwater tropical, tide-pool marine and freshwater cold. I also had an outdoor pond with small koi. All of this while living in southern California. I got back into fishkeeping in June of 2010, after purchasing some goldfish and snails for my current outdoor pond which I established two years ago, after having lived in the north Idaho panhandle since 1995. I set up my indoor aquarium on September 26, 2010.

Favorite fish:

Dojo (weather loach), variety of others

Fish I have bred:

None, so far. I figure nature will take care of itself, when the time and conditions are right. RCS are invertebrates, and have bred in my 20.

Why I like fish::

Fish watching is as fascinating, peaceful, therapeutic and enjoyable as birdwatching, which I also do.

Best advice:

Learn as much as you can and conscientiously care for our fish and invertebrates. If you don't love your pets, don't keep them.
Some food for thought: A sign of humility is being smart without being mean.
My comment about giving thumbs up: I prefer to give rep, instead. I do appreciate all the thumbs ups I have received. I'm not being stingy, I just prefer to use the "give rep" function over the "thumbs up" function.
